The Timeline of BST

Many new projects initiated by the group are now being marketed, including PRIME in Nof HaGalil, the Ma’aravah project in Rehovot, and the BSTOWERS project in Petah Tikva. These are added to boutique projects in Tel Aviv, such as Lilian – Antokolski or Rembrandt 30. Additionally, BST has won a tender to build a high-quality residential complex in Havatzelet HaSharon, among others.

The BST group continues to deepen its entrepreneurial activities with the establishment of additional residential neighborhoods, such as Or Yam in Or Akiva, VIEW BY BST in the Namsawi neighborhood in Nazareth, and the CREATE neighborhood in Givat HaKalanit in Kiryat Ata. This is alongside ongoing construction work for other leading developers, who continue to collaborate with BST on numerous projects, including Olivix and the Fiber Tower in Petah Tikva, senior housing for Rubinstein in Givatayim, the MetroTech complex in Rishon Lezion, the HYP project in Bnei Brak, the Azrieli complex in Modiin, the expansion of Tamar Parks in Rehovot, and the Giv Yam complex in Matam, among many others.

The founder of the company passed away, and his son Elias Tannous was appointed as the CEO of the group. The legacy of Badi (of blessed memory) and the values he instilled in the group will guide us forever.

GINDI TLV – a huge complex in Tel Aviv combining residential, commercial, and public institutions – is now inhabited. Simultaneously, many other projects are beginning, including Global Towers in Petah Tikva, the Rubinstein Twins and Azrieli TOWN in Tel Aviv, Tamar Park in Rehovot, and the municipality of Lod.

In parallel with TOHA, many other entrepreneurial residential projects are being established, including Galey Carmel in Tirat Carmel, Galey Atlit, and Karmi BST in Karmiel – projects that include “Mechir LeMishtaken” (affordable housing).

The TOHA building, constructed by BST, is inhabited and has won awards.

Rafi Bisker joins the BST Group and is appointed as the Chairman of the group.

Large and complex projects are being carried out by BST, such as the Azrieli Holon complex, the Apple building in Herzliya, the Menora building, and the Lubinsky complex in Rishon Lezion, along with many others.

BST hands over the Sammy Offer Stadium to the Economic Authority of Haifa.

In 2010, the group takes another significant leap by entering the execution of mega projects such as Azrieli Business Park in Herzliya, Amot Platinum in Petah Tikva, Gav Yam, Gindi TLV, Comverse House in Ra’anana, and more.

In 2010, a company for finishing works was established within the BST Group, named BuildUP. Over the years, the company has grown to become the leading finishing company in Israel. BuildUP specializes in finishing works for the commercial market – offices, hospitals, gyms, and more. The company works with leading companies in Israel as well as with most international companies operating here. It provides a full solution for managing and executing finishing projects, from systems to the smallest details at the employee’s workstation.

The beginning of winning new and significant projects – such as Azrieli – Modiin Mall, Ishpro, Gav Yam, and the Offer Brothers in Jerusalem. Additionally, the construction of the Ackerstein House in Herzliya and the BIG FASHION complex in Nazareth.
At the same time, continued deepening of entrepreneurial and residential construction activities, such as the establishment of the Savyoni Kfar Saba neighborhood in partnership with Africa Israel.

The BST Group is on the map with a variety of significant and iconic projects, both residential and commercial/offices. The group is building the ORANGE building in Rosh HaAyin and is completing occupancy at Matam Haifa, the Philips building in Haifa, and the park, among many others.
In parallel, a significant residential project in Kfar Yona is underway, and a partnership has been created with Africa Israel for the initiation and construction of Savyon Tower in Ramat Gan, a 36-story tower that, at the time, was the tallest residential building in Israel.
Additionally, the group is developing other residential projects in the north, such as Kadmat Almogi and Ramat Chen in Haifa, and others.

Starting from the late 1990s and early 2000s, the BST Group made another significant leap, successfully initiating and securing additional major projects – such as the Azorim Park in Petah Tikva and the UMI complex in Rishon Lezion, while continuing to deepen business partnerships with Shikun Ovdim and Ashstrom.

In this year, the BST Group expanded its operations abroad. Poland was the first opportunity for breakthrough with the acquisition of land, leading to the initiation and construction of thousands of housing units in the country. From there, international operations expanded in Eastern Europe to numerous projects in Georgia, Romania, and Germany, focusing on asset enhancement in various sectors.

During the 1990s, another leap is made, resulting from changes in management within the company. The company increases its share in winning various tenders across the country, professionalism develops and deepens in all areas of the company’s operations, leading to the winning of large projects.
During these years, the collaboration with Shikun Ovdim deepens, with the companies initiating projects and partnering in both entrepreneurship and project execution, creating a wide range of icons and construction projects throughout Israel – such as the slopes of Tiberias.
At the same time, collaborations with other developers are developing – such as Gav Yam, Ishpro, Regional Properties, Industrial Buildings, and more, leading to the establishment of large and significant projects.

The company’s impressive growth in the early 1980s opened the opportunity to join the Contractors’ Association. Along with winning tenders from the Ministry of Defense, during which the company built parts of the cable car on Mount Hermon, BST became an attractive player in the market.
1987 – Shikun Ovdim and BST collaborate on several residential projects, and BST begins its entrepreneurial activities.
1989 – As part of the work with the Ministry of Defense – the Air Force, BST begins its work to establish a new settlement – Reut, with 1,000 housing units and 14 large bomb shelters.
This project led to a series of additional projects for the Ministry and the Air Force, including the Gilead Paz House, the Afek neighborhood in Rosh HaAyin, and more.

BT begins to establish its name, winning many tenders and executing projects for kibbutzim and moshavim in the Jezreel Valley – such as shelters, dining halls, swimming pools, public buildings, and more.
The company’s first project was winning a tender to build 8 shelters in the Jezreel Valley for the regional council. The project was delivered ahead of schedule and with exceptional quality, which greatly helped establish the company’s good reputation and led to many additional projects, including projects in Nahariya, Acre, and Haifa, building the fire station in Afula, constructing the Emek Yizrael College, and more.
In 1976, Subhi Tannous, Badi’s brother, joined the company, and its name was changed to BST.

Badi Tannous, armed with his experience in contracting and a reputation as an honest contractor who delivers every construction contract with high quality and ahead of schedule, along with a desire and determination to break into the market of large-scale construction projects nationwide, founded the company in 1972, “B.T.” – Badi Tannous.
